[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I really don’t understand the prior posts. I don’t see it as a big deal for your BF and kids to be there, if it’s all as you say. That said, I probably would just have dinner with your child on his bday, as you are entitled to. It just wouldn’t be worth the drama to include BF and his kids; just do that another time despite the convenience of them being in town that weekend. I’m not divorced, but I think that’s how I’d handle it.[/quote]

I mean I hear what you’re saying. But I just don’t get why I should let my ex-husband dictate this. Especially when I know it would truly be fun. [/quote]

He has the right to say no in seeing your boyfriend and his kids (and probably paying for it to).  This is about your child, not you.  You are not married or a family.  Take your child for lunch and let dad have dinner.  Problem solved.  Be respectful to your ex.  And, ask your child what they want.  Your focus and priority should be your child, not your boyfriend and it sounds like your boyfriend is the focus.[/quote]

This post right here is making it about ex-husband‘s feelings though. And I have no idea what you mean about paying for it. Ds is not available for lunch.
